Anthony Holborne- one of the pioneers of the low C in the Elizabethan
group; "Image of Melancholy" pavan, a version of the Cradle pavan, a few
others. Anything you can manage by Robert Johnson out of Lord Herbert of
Cherbury's book (some of the simpler Almans, save his other stuff for
later), of course Nicolas Vallet- lots of good stuff, from almost easy
to not so easy.
For introducing the lute to folks who aren't familiar with any lute at
all, just keep it very easy on yourself & at the same time easy on their
ears & minds. Complexity kills- lots of nice tunes are in order. You can
use the 10 course for some earlier stuff, throw in those low E's & C's
at cadences- this was done back in the day anyway, you can see hand
written low notes in surviving copies of mid-16th century lute books
that have been used to generate modern facsimiles.

Had an amazing recital with Francesca, my very sexy 7 course. Luis
Milan, Francesco de Milano, Dalza Nuesidler and more, was a great
fun.A
Now it is time to put my 10 course into use (until now I just played
for myself with her) I have couple of pieces, well, only 3 pieces
really (all others are by Ballard) Including Passacallie by Gallot and
two preludes by Mertel. So of course I will like your recommendation
again, which pieces do you think will be great for first time
performing with 10 course, and people can connect to (This specific
group of people never heard a lute before, or early music before I
came)A
So thank you all again!
